Resume Extravaganza
Looking at the resumes initially took me a lot of time. Now I can really understand how it feels to go through tons of them. I mean, to read through them carefully and to pick out the best one can be really painful. The first thing that I saw in the resume was the structure of the resume and the work experience. I mean if the resume looked too squished or difficult to read then I would skip the resume. I also saw the level of important and relevance of the material. If the above points seemed ok then I would go ahead and read the resume carefully. After reading carefully, I related how his/her previous work experience can help in the job he is applying for and whether his resume gave me a sense of direction towards the objective.
The thing I really didn’t see was the GPA because it didn’t matter to me much. After keeping these points in mind I really liked the resumes on page numbers 9, 19,22,29,32. I feel they have right amount of content with perfect relevance of material as well as they have a clear sense of direction they want to show an employer.
After doing this exercise I have a better idea about how I want my resume to look and how I can make it better. I would like to format my resume in such a way that not only in the order of importance but look soothing to the eye, because I really got bugged reading thirty four resumes. I saw the efficient use of adjective in many resumes which I think I am weak on, so I shall improve those skills of mine. Overall it was really fun doing this blog and I think it has helped me a lot because I was in the place of an employer and now I know what an employer would be expecting of a resume.
